I will be having my knee operated on in May. Have to get a cat scan, medical check up and do paper work from Fedex prior to going to the hospital.
And that is my 13,000th post
May your surgery be successful and your recovery be short yet productive.
Mentioning a CT scan reminds me of an old joke:
A man finds that his beloved dog is unresponsive and rushes it to a vet's office.
The vet takes a look at the dog and says it looks like it died from illness or old age.
The man understandably upset demands that the vet do some tests.
The vet says OK and leaves for a few minutes. He comes back with a cat and waves it over the dog.
Then, leaving the exam room with the cat, the vet returns after a few minutes with a dog from the back room. This dog is waving his tail and proceeds to sniff the man's dog, at which the once happy dog turns out of the room with his tail between his legs.
The vet looks at the man and says that after concluding his testing he can pronounce the dog officially dead, and that the bill will be $400.
The man asks for what is he being charged $400. The vet says that he charges $200, the cat scan is $100 and the lab test is $100.
